Highlight • Natural

For 🍀 there is a big stone in front of the bench, because otherwise small people hardly have a chance to sit down. The view on a clear day is excellent.

A walk through the vineyards of Ipsheim on November 1st with beautiful sunshine and pleasant temperatures. Beautiful distant view and bunches of colors in the mountains.

The hike from Ipsheim train station through the vineyards in Franconia continued without rain.

This time the gate to Hoheneck Castle was open and allowed us a glimpse into the courtyard.
